This was the fourth railroad crossing I recorded on March 1, 2026. So as I finished up recording Rialto Road in Covington, there was obviously a northbound sitting at the siding, so it got moving, and I decided to follow it up near Fowlkes to get yet ANOTHER 8" crossing, but this time just Safetran LEDs, no fading on this crossing, and it turns out its BNSF locomotives on CN? Weird.
Crossing info:
Signal on the left: 4 - 8"x20" Safetran w/ Safetran LEDs, a Late Safetran 1970s gate mechanism, 4" RECO LED gatelights, and a General Signals Type 2 E-Bell.
Signal on the right: 4 - 8"x20" Safetran w/ Safetran LEDs, a Late Safetran 1970s gate mechanism, 4" RECO LED gatelights,
Location:
Bruceville Slab Road
Fowlkes, Tennessee
Locomotives:
BNSF 8145 - ES44C4
BNSF 5404 - C44-9W (DPU)
